<p>anyone apply?</p>
<p>I applied, and got my acceptance letter today. I'm from MA. Who else got in? My parents and I are so excitedddd!</p>
<p>Bump........</p>
<p>My S got his letter today - Vermont.</p>
<p>I got my letter today (NJ).</p>
<p>I'm so ridiculously excited!</p>
<p>I haven't gotten a notification letter but I live in the west, so I'm just praying right now. </p>
<p>how did the letter come...fed ex, usps..etc?</p>
<p>I got an email and my letter came in the regular mail.</p>
<p>You got an email? When did you get an email? Did everyone else get emails?</p>
<p>Yeah, same here. I got an e-mail on Thursday and the package came Friday.</p>
<p>ETA: I created a Facebook group so that we can all meet virtually before we meet in D.C. Search for Al Neuharth Free Spirit Scholars 2009!</p>
<p>So does not getting an email guarantee me that I did not get the scholarship?</p>
<p>I got my email on Thursday January 15. Did you check your spam box?</p>
<p>I did check my spam box, nothing there. :(</p>
<p>anyone from the west hear any good news?!</p>
<p>Bump.......</p>
<p>/:
well it's the 27th and i havent got anything yet... so i guess im out.</p>
<p>dang. i really wanted this.</p>
<p>what sort of journalism experience do you guys have?</p>
<p>I started a newspaper, did a journalism academy at Harvard, and have internships right now at two different daily papers.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear that, Pseudo_Name. :-( What state did you apply from?</p>
<p>As for experience...I'm features editor for my school's weekly paper, I write for a blog based in NYC (where I'll be interning this summer), I had an internship last summer at my local paper and got some nice bylines, and I've had reviews/arts stuff published in a teen lit mag. </p>
<p>Now that I think about it, I never had much of a focus...I think that online media/blogging is the new frontier in journalism, so I'm starting to shift from my first love (print) to my latest flame (online media), I guess. :-D</p>
<p>cool (:
congratulations you guys! </p>
<p>im from california, so im sure i had alot of competition!</p>
<p>i interned at a local newspaper in the photography department for two years, now i have a part time job as assistant photographer (:</p>
<p>im also on the photo staff for a teen paper called fresh!nk, i get to shoot shows like warped tour and coachella. i absolutely love it!</p>
<p>but maybe photo journalism wasnt what they were looking for. /:</p>
<p>hey, guys! congrats. i applied from georgia, and i thought i had a pretty good chance given my past experience, but i haven't heard anything, so i guess i'm out. too bad. :[</p>
